Question:
What is the meaning behind Van Halen's song "Running with the Devil" off their self-titled first album?
Answers:
It's about life on the road in a band. The "simple life" he's referring to could be based on the perception that it's easy doing what you love to do, but the repetition of doing the same thing over and over gets old. It's really hard to hold a serious relationship together when you're on the road all the time. Not to mention the temptations you find yourself faced with.
I hope this helped!
